Officials are blaming ISIS, which seems like a convenient scapegoat that shields state actors from consequences which could result in another Middle East war.
"But why, exactly, should anyone (let alone Jews) believe the current Australian government?" It seems to me that too many countries, Australia just being one of them, have become enablers of these Islamic thugs such that, Heaven Forfend, we DON'T support the Gazaniacs. As long as the Mad Mullahs wield power in Tehran this sort of transnational terror will continue. Maybe it IS time for Mossad to put these so-called "clerics" in fear for THEIR lives. My advice to all those of the Torah, gird thy loins and UNIFY!
The premise of your article that the ISIS connection is questionable is false.
There is now footage from a passing motorist of a Russian born Jewish couple wrestling a rifle off of the older of the 2 terrorists just after he got out of the car they drove to Bondi. The footage clearly shows a home made ISIS flag draped over the windscreen of their car... so it did exist, and wasn't planted there by others.
Yes, Allahbanese, the Australian Prime Minister, has refused to utter certain words in his comments post the massacre, and his inaction has allowed the antisemitism in Australia to reach unprecedented levels, but the terrorists in this case clearly had a long term plan to carry out such an attack. The father had transferred the title on their family home into his wife's name to avoid its confiscation in any civil case for compensation by victims or by the courts in a victims of crime case.
Additionally it has come out that the father obtained his gun licence in 2023. As an ex-shooter (I stopped many many years ago) I could see a level of proficiency in shooting and reloading displayed by the son in particular that means that in the 2 and a bit years that his father has been licenced they have spent a considerable amount of time developing their weapons skills.
So, even if the current ALP Government had acted appropriately and reduced the vile spreading of antisemitism which we have seen in Australia since October 7th 2023, these two sub-humans would have still carried out Sunday's massacre.
The worry here is, that there may be other heavily radicalised individuals or groups in Australia currently planning their own Bondi style attacks under the noses of our clearly useless intelligence agencies.
The close up view of the father shooting off of the bridge reveals a man very comfortable with the gun. These 2 terrorists are obviously hit-men, chosen for this job. Of course, my opinion, but none of these murderers seem lone shooters.
I agree that it is wise to question the roll of the alleged ISIS flags in the terrorists car. The Australian government is already trying to divert the story away from radical Islam as the cause of the massacre to a story about increasing gun control. This brand of cynical politics could easily drive a narrative over ISIS to divert attention from a wider more serious cause. I am concerned as my grandkids live close by to Bondi.
I wouldn't believe the Australian government if they told me my own name. But truthfully, the attack was more ISIS and less Iran. Iran does things surreptitiously, they dont send identifiable killers to the beach. They hide. ISIS does these mass killings out in the open- the car rammings at christmas markets.
The fact is Albanese and Wong are shitbags. Why the average Australian reelected them is beyond me. Simply because they didnt like Trump. What a stupid reason to keep those so wholly inadequate in office. Canada did the same thing.
Israel will find out the truth. When it behooves her she will do something about it if it was Iran if she wants.
The perspective presented by this article relates to the most logical and realistic analysis of these deadly events in Australia. The head of the snake must be removed and the sooner, the better. This should be the red line. Any further appeasement and obfuscation will just invite more of the same on the global stage.
Until the West actually believes that the Shi'aa WANT a global conflagation---the only way to release their Messiah, the Mahdi---we will continue to be on the losing side of all negotiations... Yes, even if one of our side thinks he's playing "6-D Chess" or whatever.
It was long clear to me, and should (have) be(en) for everyone else that if you look into the face of this „Australian Premier“, you can only see that all of which you write is completely true. No one and nothing did force him to take in any Paleswine, it is only his conviction and „normal“ „Leftist“ jew hate.
The author may be correct about Iran. Maybe there’s a confluence of ISIS online radicalization AND Iran influences. But one thing is clear. Trump is now in money making mode with the Arabs and it would have to be a direct attack on Israel by Iran for the U.S. to do anything. That is unless Bibi can play Trump again like he did to get Trump to bomb Iran’s nuclear sites.
What makes you think trump wouldn’t attack Israel if Israel did what was necessary in iran?
We don’t actually know what trump has been beating Bibi over the head with, do we?
We know he’s desperate for this ‘peace deal’ to succeed, and he’s all snuggly with qatar, but we have to ask ourselves how far he’d actually go, now he’s decided he doesn’t need Israel anymore.
Now there are questions over whether Israel ‘violated’ the deal by taking out a hamas leader - as if hamas haven’t violated the ‘deal’ from day 1!
Let’s not forget he’s also prepared to sell advanced air technology to saudi, and potentially to turkey. Turkey, who want to wipe Israel off the map as much as hamas do! Therefore destroying Israel’s air superiority.
And while we’re at it, what happened to hamas having to disarm? Seems to have gone out the window, no?
Furthermore, he wants to put turkish and eygptian (I think?) troops in gaza to act as some kind of security force?
Trump has shown his true colours, and has betrayed Israel - and no, I don’t have DTS, in fact, I liked trump before he unveiled his ‘epic deal’, which seemed to involve Israel lying down and dying to make him look good.
Let’s be absolutely clear: Israel does not need, want, or benefit from the United States—or any other country—fighting its wars. Israel has proven, repeatedly, that it is fully capable of defending itself with speed, precision, and overwhelming effectiveness. Foreign military involvement only slows Israel down and limits its operational freedom.
Netanyahu deliberately set the stage with Iran, giving Trump the opportunity to flex long-dormant U.S. military power and remind the world what American force looks like and take credit for an action Israel was already capable of executing independently. Credit where it’s due—Trump allowed Israel to act decisively, unlike previous U.S. administrations that always ties Israel’s hands.
By the end of Trump’s term, Israel will dramatically reduce its dependence on U.S. aid, continue to lead the world in cutting-edge military and cybersecurity technology, and unapologetically assert its sovereignty and regional dominance. Israel will stand not as a client state, but as a regional power, America’s partner and a global supplier of elite defense, surveillance, and intelligence capabilities.
And trump hasn’t tied Israel’s hands now? So add him to the long list of presidents who have never allowed Israel to decisively win a war because they want arab petrodollars
Being a fervent Zionist, I’m well aware of Israel’s capabilities, and I’m also well aware of what happens when any other country or organisation gets in its way. Betrayal is what happens, just as it’s happening now.
The sooner Israel gets the noose of American aid from round her neck, the better.
Thank G-d Bibi is finally moving in that direction.
And neither america nor any other country has EVER had to put boots on the ground for Israel. (Not that I personally would trust them to fight FOR Israel even if they did).
Israel fights her own wars, america stops her from decisively victory every time. Just as trump is doing now.
If there is a morale problem, which I doubt, because every warrior of Israel knows they fight for the survival of the only place they can be unapologetically, absolutely Jewish, it’s probably down to being hobbled by people who should keep their damned Pinocchio noses out of Israel’s business.
Well, putting troop numbers aside, since the countries aren't contiguous, one of Iran's strategies has been to launch sufficient numbers of missiles at Israel's dense civilian centers to overwhelm Israel's missile defense capabilities. Supplementary U.S. antimissile support is thus needed. (Maybe that's what Trump holds over Bibi's head.) During Iran's last saturation bombing of Israel, the protection wasn't even sufficient. But Trump forced Israel into a premature ceasefire before the IAF could destroy all of Iran's missiles and missile factories (estimated one third remaining). Iran says they're in a crash program to build a truly overwhelming supply of missiles, and China's delivery of missile fuel has subsequently been reported on. So yes, Israel needs to pick a time and revisit Iran.
Eva, I don't think we disagree in principle; it's just a matter of degree. Trump is about Trump and is purely transactional. We'll see how his investment transaction in the Gulf drives his next decision or reaction (like the killing of the Hamas leader recently)
What changes for all of us worker bees trying to make a living, care for our families and friends, and do a few Mitzvot? What is actionable? Without a productive outlet for the adrenaline and other neurotransmitters that get released, this creates an unproductive problem for our bodies and minds.
I'd like to see our discussions include actionable, realistic options for doing something at our different places, and encouragement to continue the things we are doing.
I do respect these observations and analyses. I know a number of people who are overwhelmed by all this information. I don't have any suggestions right now. In whatever way to whatever extent you can, no matter how small, do something. Don't just think and ruminate.
Read a chapter/perek of thillim. Learn some ivrit. Go out for a walk or do your yoga and strengthen yourself. Get the family together and have fun together. Put some money in a pushka for injured IDF or for elderly or for the families of reservists. Go to a Chanukah party (maybe carry concealed.) Encourage a fellow supporter of Torah and Israel. All of these actions are infinitely better than one more conversation about being victims. Don't study the Holocaust - but rather study and prepare for being able to take care of your family and friends in the event of problems - whether it's a natural disaster or a shooting. Act.
The Australian Prime Minister, has been turning his back, to Anti-Zionist, rampant antisemitism in his country, for over the last 2 years
Also by, Rewarding Terrorism promoting a fictional Palestinian State, willingly turning a blind eye to threats, early warnings to jahadist attacks against ✡️. His ongoing rhetoric is 🤮💩,😶🌫️🙄, pathetic. He definitely has blood all over his body, hands 😱🤬🤬
You're onto something here. News reports said the men had gone to an ISIS training camp in the Philippines. Officials there deny the existence of such a camp.
"According to a senior Israeli intelligence official, Israel’s foreign intelligence service provided Australian authorities with concrete warnings . . . they prevented attacks as they were in the process or near the start . . . Israeli intelligence has identified or disrupted similar Iranian-linked terror activity across Europe, Africa, and Asia, as well as alleged plots in South America, India, and Thailand."
It is great to know that Mossad has thwarted many terror attacks, but more is needed.
As I wrote yesterday, we need a Diaspora Mossad. Or let's say a finely tuned group working in every major country under the direction of Mossad, and infiltrating mosques and social media everywhere.
And you know what else? Governments should shut down mosques who have imams who preach hatred. That is NOT freedom of speech and they shouldn't be allowed to do it.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s appearance on NewsNation last night was disgraceful. She wouldn’t even acknowledge rampant antisemitism or the danger radical Islamist ideology poses to Jews and the non-Muslim world. A cynical, dishonest political operative who utterly failed the moment and exposed herself in the process who chose cowardice over truth.
Whether ISIS is involved or not, shouldn’t divert us from the fact that Iran has much Jewish blood on its hands. It is responsible for the existence of Hezbollah, and is deeply involved with Hamas. Iranian crimes against Jews extend into the diaspora as well. Read up on the 1994 bombing of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) in Buenos Aires. 85 killed, over 350 injured. Government corruption, a bungled investigation, possible bribing of Argentine’s leaders to aid a cover-up… It reads like a novel, though one without a satisfying conclusion.
The Australian Prime Minister is being globally criticized for his failings in allowing terrorism against Jewish people to flourish inside Australia. Where is the conservative opposition in Australia and why are they not criticizing and calling him out for his failures 24-7? This should be an all out effort to change Australian minds about having him in charge. Then do polling and when his approval numbers tank call for a Vote of No Confidence in the Australian parliament. Any harassment occurs call it free speech human rights violation and make a complaint or sue and sue. If enough Australians refuse to tolerate the man, he will be gone from office.
Someone could rightly claim that the Prime Minister is endangering the lives of all Australians when allowing Iranian directed terrorism like at Biondi Beach occur. They were warned of possible terrorism and did nothing. No investigation or infiltration of the Iranian terrorist cells. Nothing. Why should the PM allow all Australian lives to be endangered to allegedly preserve world peace and avoid a 3rd World War. Wake up the preliminaries to such a war are already occurring. The pogroms like the Biondi Beach incident are being planned and carried out. Is the Australian PM just going to open a wooden folding chair, sit down and watch?
"But why, exactly, should anyone (let alone Jews) believe the current Australian government?" It seems to me that too many countries, Australia just being one of them, have become enablers of these Islamic thugs such that, Heaven Forfend, we DON'T support the Gazaniacs. As long as the Mad Mullahs wield power in Tehran this sort of transnational terror will continue. Maybe it IS time for Mossad to put these so-called "clerics" in fear for THEIR lives.

btw, i don't think ASIO itself is to blame. I think they advised the government and the government chose to ignore it
That's interesting.
Can you please find and post that footage?

More and more people are realising this. The saddest thing is, most of the "collateral" have been Muslims themselves
Rationalized by the perpetrators--- "We didn't take their lives -- we assured them Paradise !"
As bad as any ISiS or foreign involvement in Sydney’s attack is considered, any lone wolf operation is just as worrying.
ISIS and Iran are enemies so it would make perfect sense for Iran to do something despicable and try to shift the blame to ISIS.

I agree 100%.
"Let’s be absolutely clear: Israel does not need, want, or benefit from the United States—or any other country—fighting its wars."
I don't know man.....the IDF only has around 169,000 active and 465,000 on reserve. Not to mention a serious morale problem these days.
Go ahead, underestimate Israel.
And neither america nor any other country has EVER had to put boots on the ground for Israel. (Not that I personally would trust them to fight FOR Israel even if they did).
Israel fights her own wars, america stops her from decisively victory every time. Just as trump is doing now.
